Father refuses to eat and I'm running out of options ...

(1/5) > >>

Chip:
... does anybody have any ideas about how I can get my father to eat ?

He is 93 y/o and weighs 51 kg.

any help would be greatly appreciated (wish I could get him to smoke pot but that's not possible as he is in hospital.

Flutterby:
Edibles? Maybe someone else with more knowledge could help more, its just the first thing I thought of.

Chip:
Edibles are not available here unfortunately.

I am currently looking at Megestrol Acetate which is a steroidal appetite stimulant (just found this now via Google).

Zoops:
Have you tried enticing him with his favorite foods?

That would probably work for me, but hey what do I know?

Chip:
He is still in hospital and we can't serve him that and he was refusing ALL sorts of food prior to coming in but when he gets out then mom will try that again, I am sure.

Truth be known, I think he is intentionally starving himself to death OR it's a response to his depression.

Thanks for trying.
